Will probably go up at 10am; that's when new releases/pre-orders usually go up on the webstore.

WH Digital now lists the books, but the free rules aren't shown there.
I expect they'll appear here:

anyone know how the index books are going to be handled?
i know we are getting free rules but without the index books for the army lists they are worthless.
will there be generic points or are we getting free rules and are boned without the indexes?

please don't read this as a complaint. i am super stoked over the free rules and just want to make sure i'm prepared so i can play with ma toys right away... pew pew...

I contacted FW and they said Apple screwed up and deleted some of their products.

They are working on getting it fixed.

just got mine handed to me, didn't ask for it. Mind you, I was buying 3 Indexes and WD without buying the new Rulebook, maybe the guy took pity on me?

Thanks for the info...I was very confused!

I wonder how long it will take to get the enhanced core rules back up? I know when dealing with Apple it can sometimes take quite a long time to get things fixed (like a week or two). I hope that's not the case here.

Good to know someone's Marine book downloaded. I've got Xenos 1 and Imperium 2 downloaded just fine but Imperium 1 is refusing to download for some reason.

(Update: Restarted my ipad and it's working now. Going to call this "ibooks being unstable" for the time being.)

The free rules will be just the datasheets, so no points just the power levels. So you can use the free unit rules in open and narrative (and matched if you just use power levels) but if you want the points cost you will need the indexes or codex went they come out.

I don't believe there was any indication that unit datasheets were going to be made available for free.

Yeah I went to the iBooks store and the enhanced version is missing. You can only get the ePub edition. Though maybe it was exclusive for pre-order people. Seems dumb, but I would not put it past GW. I guess I will wait through the weekend, if it does not show up Monday I am calling customer service.

I though I heard a rumor that they would be and it would make sense given how it is in age of sigmar. I could be wrong though, time will tell.
